Andrew Morton's 2004 OLS keynote

I recently presented a brief tribute to Andrew Morton at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, MemoryManagement, and BPF Summit; it included a suggestion that reading (orre-reading) his 2004 Ottawa Linux Symposium keynote would be instructive.This talk, given immediately after the KernelSummit session that decided to fundamentally change the kernel'sdevelopment model, tells a lot about how the kernel project got to where itis today. The text of that speech was hosted on Groklaw, and has sincebeen replaced by crypto spam, which is rather less useful. In the hopes ofpreserving this seminal moment, the transcript has been rescued thanks to theWayback Machine and is presented here.
